DIY Microlocs Installation | Two Strand Twist | No Grid Pattern | 4B Hair | Loc Count

One thing we should normalize is our natural face with no makeup. You do not look crazy. You look normal. You look fine!! And it’s ok to be comfortable in your skin and posting without makeup on. Other peoples opinion about it don’t matter. Hugs

I love the concept of cornrowing your hair first and then start each twist from the individual cornrows. 🙌🏾

[@crazyjloop89]

I just did this and it worked out great. It's an investment of time to get the rows all done, but worth it and makes the process faster and smoother overall.

[@shaeshae0406]

Yessss such a smart idea

Yes it works been using this and another method for years keeps it neat ❤

[@mysalonsuitelife]

I love it! ❤ I have been wearing my micro locs/ Sisterlocks for over 23 years. I have also been a micro loc stylist for 23 years. You did a great job and I applaud you. 👏🏾. Continue to educate yourself on the process and know that your locs will evolve and change over time. I have taken a couple of your classes and made a wig or two for myself…yes you can wear a wig over them even when they’re mature locs. 😊 You did a wonderful job!

[@marquettabreslin]

WOW!! That’s amazing!! Thank you so much!! I’m learning so much but there’s also lots of conflicting information. Thank you for the support!! A huge reason why I chose to do them so small is so I can still wear wigs when I want. With them smaller I can make them flatter. At least for now. I don’t know what they will look like when they loc.

Thank you so much!

[@HattishaTheArtist]

Welcome to the family!! They look great and you did an amazing DIY job!! Small locs are something else to maintain😂 but as long as you’re consistent you should be good. Definitely recommend having somebody else do the re-ties unless you know you have the time and patience for it. I started my locs myself on 4/20/20. Before I started combining I had 311 locs and was just dying to have more😂!! I’ve since combined some of them and I have no clue how many I have now lol. I have to do an updated count, but I think I’m in the neighborhood of maybe 290-ish

[@marquettabreslin]

Thank you!! It’s so nice over here 😂. I don’t have the patience for my own re-ties. I’m so thankful I found a loctician!!

I’m so happy to see you start microlocs! They look amazing on you!!!! I will be a year in a couple of weeks! Best damn decision ever! I’ve been natural since 98 and never have gotten locs. And I agree, they remind me of a wash n go. I got tired of the maintenance of wash n gos. And not looking the same the next day. I absolutely LOVE my hair!❤❤❤

[@theartofdating]

Hey lady. I’ve been contemplating this for awhile. In my mind being a cosmetologist I think I can do mine myself. Good to see you here.

Your story going back and forth about it is where I am right now. I too love my fro but I'm over it. I had the same experience with braids. I've been feeling like locs is what I should do. I should just do it.

[@natkeishabennett3984]

I’ve considered. Still considering. I’m Like you like to change hairstyles a lot. And I like big hair. But what I don’t like is doing my hair, or going to the shop to get it done.

When I interlock my traditional locs I start in the back. The grid just prevent hair growing into another loc. Great job!

Love your hair , I have been sisters loc for 12 years, I just did a self retightening took me a week due to work, had problems in the back, used my iPhone to mirror the back to show on the TV so I could see what I was doing. You do a great job.

[@amarilles]

I started mine in April! I too interlocked a few and thought....this ain't it. So far I have retwisted all of them once and I think I will continue to do so. So far so good! You look great!

[@carolcanady9059]

Your locs look great . My daughter mentioned that I should finally just get this done My hair is super fine and I’m getting over a bout with Alopecia /TE. I’m still conscious of the spaciness of the scalp but know that I’m tired of the braids etc. and I too was afraid of locking into one style : love flexibility. But yes I see that you can do so much more with sisterlocs or any locing methods. So glad I ran into your channel. You did a fabulous job. I’m all about diy but I will definitely go get mine done at least for now. Thanks for Al the info. And yes. You look great without makeup.

[@Sheree_Monique]

I'm currently starting my microlocs with interlocks. I've done them with two strand twists and the one thing I will say is that rope twists take longer to "loc" then just regularly two strand twisting your hair. Watching En Toi's videos on here has been helpful for me. I don't think the grid is all that important, except for styling. You did an amazing job on your day install.

[@marquettabreslin]

That’s the one thing I’m wondering if I should have done instead of the two strand twist method! My biggest reason for not starting them with interlock is because of the time. I had a short window to do it and couldn’t wait months to get in with a loctician. I’m sure yours will be beautiful!!

[@marquettabreslin]

Thank you! I’m sure yours will come out beautiful as well!

[@Sheree_Monique]

@@marquettabreslin I get that I was able to start mine with interlocks, mostly because my hair is so short and I have a lot of time on my hands. I'm excited for your journey!

Color changes your hair texture, that is why it is a looser curl pattern on the ends. It looks great on you.

Welcome to the loc world!!! I've been loced for almost 4 years and I wish I'd loc my hair sooner. I have sisterlocs but I used to two strand twist my hair really small all the time. I wish I knew then that I could've started my locs from that. Nevertheless I'm here now and I'm all in.

[@Denise-wj4yy]

It looks beautiful ❤

[@arielbrown]

Your love look amazing. I did my sister super tiny and when it was time to retwist I did have to combine some together, only because they were to tiny. I noticed that when I started interlocking you must do the full rotation and make sure thetest rotation is going down to lay the loc flat. If you don't finish like that you run the risk of having the loc get knots and baby it becomes a mess getting the knot out .

[@marquettabreslin]

Thank you! Yep I learned that the hard way and decided immediately to find a loctician! 😂

Oh Wow You sound like me lmbo!!!! I Love smaller braids and I always said I'd never lock my hair but then these microlocs came along and blew my mind!!! I want them bad but my pockets don't allow me to pay someone soooooo I'm going to have to do it myself. I too used to braid and I am a licensed cosmetologist lol. I can do this!!! A friend was going to do it for me but I haven't heard from her which is really Disheartening but that's fine I can do this!!! Thanks for sharing and you've encouraged me to move forward 🤎!!!

Hi Marquette, you’ve done a good job with your starter locks, I was considering locking my hair, because am always in mini twist, you should’ve tried mini twist and treat it like locks to see if you would like it, but you probably will, am the same as you, I cannot wear braids, I had some put in, they were out the next day, I just kept having headaches, the smallest tension in my hair, makes me miserable 😂 so I stick to wearing my own hair, I choose comfort over hairstyle
